The International Diabetes Federation
and the World Health Organization created
World Diabetes Day in response to diabetes
epidemic
Every year on November 14, World Diabetes Day brings diabetes
to the attention of the world.
November 14 is the birthday of Frederick Banting, one of the
discoverers of insulin.

The theme is set by the International Diabetes
Federation and the World Health Organization.
In 2006, the United Nations passed resolution 61/225. It asks
the world to observe November 14 as World
Diabetes Day and to take action to address the
diabetes threat.
The campaign evolved from one day in the year to a multi-year campaign
The campaign has grown in strength from humble beginnings. . .
. . .to become a truly global event.
2009-2013Diabetes Education and Prevention
The campaign slogan is: Let's Take Control of Diabetes. Now.

In 2007, the World Diabetes Day logo incorporated the diabetes circle.

The global symbol for diabetes was developed during the Unite for Diabetes campaign.
Why a circle?A positive symbol across cultures, the circle symbolizes life and health.
Why blue?The colour blue reflects the sky that unites all nations. The blue border of the circle reflects the colour of the sky and the flag of the United Nations. The blue circle signifies the unity of the global diabetes community in response to the diabetes epidemic.
